435: Chapter 435 Returning Home? Not Enough Fuel!

The members of the Ability User Bureau rushed to the computer.

The next second.

Their fingers flew across the keyboard.

Results were obtained quickly.

He widened his eyes and spoke in shock.

"Bi... Big Sister!"

"On today's flight to Magic City, there is a black couple!"

"Their photos are exactly the same as these two!"

Black Widow's mind instantly went blank.

She jerked her head around, staring fixedly at those two unconscious faces.

Then.

She rushed forward, grabbed the man's collar, and shook him frantically.

"Wake up! Wake the hell up!"

The man was shaken until he was dizzy, and he opened his eyes dizzily.

What met his eyes was a face distorted to the point of deformation.

"I... where am I?"

Black Widow stared at him with gnashing teeth: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man blinked blankly: "I... my name is Johnson, I was planning to go to Dragon Kingdom for a trip with my girlfriend..."

Black Widow's face was ashen: "Then why are you in the airport toilet?"

Johnson rubbed his throbbing head, trying to remember.

"I... I remember going to the toilet, and then... I was here!"

Black Widow let go, her whole body staggering back two steps.

The Ability User Bureau member behind her spoke with a trembling voice.

"Bi... Big Sister, for today's flight to Magic City, all the passenger names match..."

"And the plane..."

He paused, his voice trembling, "It already took off three hours ago."

Black Widow's face was pitch black.

She suddenly remembered the words Ye Chen said before he left...

"I will definitely walk out of the USA, and I'll do it openly and boldly."

So...

The "openly and boldly" he meant was this kind of openly and boldly!!!

Black Widow was so angry her whole body trembled, the veins on her forehead bulged, and her face turned the color of pig liver.

"FUCK!!!"

She grabbed a nearby chair and smashed it violently against the wall.

The chair shattered into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.

The people around were as silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Black Widow panted heavily, her eyes full of madness.

"Notify the control tower!"

"Have that plane return immediately!!!"

The subordinate's face turned pale, and he stammered.

"Bi... Big Sister, that plane has been flying for three hours and has already entered international waters. Plus, we've just lifted the lockdown. If we make the plane return now, the White House side..."

Before he could finish.

Black Widow had already grabbed his collar.

"I said, have that plane return immediately."

"I will explain to the White House."

"Today, even if God himself comes, he has to bring that bastard back to me!!!"

If Ye Chen really got away...

Then her Ability User Bureau would lose all face!

The Ability User Bureau member trembled and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes... this subordinate will notify them immediately!"

He stumbled to the communication station, picked up the walkie-talkie, and roared.

"Tower! This is the Ability User Bureau!"

"Immediately contact Flight MU582 to Magic City! Order them to return immediately!"

From the other end of the walkie-talkie came the confused voice of a tower staff member.

"Flight MU582?"

"That plane has been in international waters for three hours. According to international aviation practice, we have no right to demand a foreign flight return while over international waters..."

"Cut the crap!" Black Widow snatched the walkie-talkie and hissed into it, "I don't care about practices or no practices, get me through to that plane immediately! Tell them if they don't return, they are an enemy of the USA!"

The tower side was clearly frightened by this madwoman-like roar and stammered a response.

Black Widow stared fixedly at the clock on the wall, counting every second.

Three minutes.

Five minutes.

Seven minutes.

Finally, the voice of the tower staff member came through the walkie-talkie.

"We... we have contacted the captain of Flight MU582."

Black Widow grabbed the walkie-talkie: "What did he say?"

The tower staff member's voice became strange.

"He said... he needs to consult the Dragon Kingdom Air Traffic Control Center."

Black Widow was so angry she almost threw the walkie-talkie: "Consult? Patch me into his channel now!"

...

Ten thousand meters in the air, in the cockpit of Flight MU582.

Captain Zhang Guoqiang was a veteran pilot in his fifties. He had flown international routes for thirty years, and today was the final flight of his career.

As long as today passed, he could retire with honor.

But often in such situations, something unexpected is bound to happen.

Wasn't it?

He hadn't seen a scene like today's before.

Holding his headset, he listened to the "return order" relayed by the tower staff member, and was completely stunned.

"Tower, say that again? Return?"

"Yes, MU582, this is an order from the USA's Ability User Bureau. Please return immediately."

Zhang Guoqiang was silent for two seconds, then he smiled.

He winked at the co-pilot, picked up the microphone, and spoke slowly in standard English.

"Tower, please tell the lady from the Ability User Bureau that we understand her feelings very well."

"But..."

He paused, a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Our fuel is not quite enough."

From the tower's end, Black Widow's voice came through first, almost piercing his eardrums.

"Not enough fuel?"

"You've only been flying for three hours! Flying back to Chicago is more than enough!"

Zhang Guoqiang responded unhurriedly.

"Madam, you may not be aware, but our flight's original route was direct to Magic City, and the fuel was calculated according to this journey."

"If we were to return now, plus the time spent circling and waiting, the fuel is indeed insufficient."

"In case we run out of fuel halfway, that's a whole plane of lives."

"This responsibility is not something a small captain like me can bear."

Black Widow trembled with rage: "Stop giving me excuses! Your fuel is absolutely enough! Return immediately!"

Zhang Guoqiang sighed, his tone full of sincerity.

"Madam, if you don't believe me, you can check the flight plan we submitted."

"It's written there in black and white; the fuel amount is just enough for a one-way trip."

"We Dragon Kingdom people have always followed the rules and never make false reports."

Black Widow was about to say more when another voice suddenly cut into the communicator.

"MU582, this is the Dragon Kingdom Magic City Air Traffic Control Center."

"We have received your request to return? Please explain the situation!"

Zhang Guoqiang's spirits rose, and he immediately reported in Chinese.

"Magic City Center, this is MU582!"

"The USA side has requested that we return to Chicago, but our fuel is insufficient to execute the return order."

Magic City was silent for a second, then a steady male voice came through.

"MU582, we have noted your fuel situation."

"According to international aviation safety standards, in the event of insufficient fuel, no country has the right to demand a flight perform a task beyond its range."

"The USA side's request is not recognized by us."

"Please continue flying according to the original route. Magic City Airport will prepare for arrival as planned."

Zhang Guoqiang was delighted: "MU582 copies! Thank you, Magic City Center! Continuing flight on the original route!"

The communication was cut off.

In the cockpit, Zhang Guoqiang and the co-pilot looked at each other, both seeing a glint of a smile in the other's eyes.

The co-pilot lowered his voice: "Captain, our fuel... seems to be enough to return, right?"

Zhang Guoqiang glanced at him.

"Young comrade, what you said is not right."

"The fuel amount written on our flight plan is our fuel amount."

"As for whether it's actually enough..."

He paused and chuckled.

"That depends on the weather, the wind direction, and many, many factors."

"Anyway, right now it's just not enough, understand?"

He was about to retire!

After this flight, it was goodbye to them.

Stopping his retirement plan?

Go eat shit!

The co-pilot was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Brilliant, Captain!"

...

Chicago Tower.

Black Widow listened to the busy tone from the walkie-talkie, completely dumbfounded.

Refused?

Just refused like that?

She jerked around and roared at her subordinates behind her: "Get me the Dragon Kingdom Embassy in the Beautiful Country!!!"

The Ability User Bureau members were helpless and could only tremblingly dial the number.

A moment later.

A gentle male voice came from the receiver.

"Hello, this is the Dragon Kingdom Embassy in the Beautiful Country."

Black Widow snatched the phone and said angrily: "I am Black Widow from the USA's Ability User Bureau! I want you to immediately order Flight MU582 to return!"

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then the gentle male voice spoke with a hint of confusion.

"Madam, returning a flight is no small matter. Can you explain the reason?"

Black Widow took a deep breath and explained through gritted teeth.

"There is an important suspect on that flight!"

"They must return to undergo investigation!"

The embassy staff member maintained a smile.

"Madam, is the suspect you're referring to a citizen of our country?"

"If so, please provide the relevant evidence and legal documents, and we will handle it through the proper diplomatic channels."

"As for ordering the flight to return..."

"I'm afraid that is beyond the scope of the embassy's authority."

"Flight operations involve international aviation safety and need to be coordinated by the aviation management departments of both countries."

"How about you contact our Civil Aviation Administration?"
